Migration Politics

“Integration” refers to multiple arenas in German migration politics, including journalistic discourse, public policy, and cultural logics about incorporating immigrants and refugees into the nation. This article examines two non-fiction narratives, Das Ende der Geduld by Kirsten Heisig and Muslim Girls by Sineb El Masrar, to explore how each author characterizes integration from opposite sides of the political spectrum. In integration politics, adolescence is often construed as a problem, which—when improperly managed—leads to the criminalization or radicalization of youth of color. Comparative analysis of these two texts shows that institutions such as the school and the criminal justice system produce adolescence as a problem for integration and as a way to avoid acknowledging institutionalized inequity. These two examples exist as part of a longer genealogy of authors using mass-market paperbacks to comment on integration politics.

III THE PATTERN EXPLAINED In part I of this paper we described the gross pattern of public policy in our five countries. In part II we looked at how the pattern developed in each of the countries. We noticed that the countries have pursued policies that diverge widely, at least with respect to the size of the direct operating role of the State in the provision of public services. We also noticed that the United States differs from the four other countries far more than they do from each other. These findings will not have come as a great surprise to anybody, although some readers may have been surprised – in view of the common assumption that all major western countries are ‘welfare states’ – to discover just how much the countries differ and what different histories they have had.

AbstractThe articles in this symposium reflect on Richard Simeon's article, “Studying Public Policy,” published forty years ago in this journal. In this introduction, we review these articles’ contribution to three themes in “Studying Public Policy”: first, the goal of the study of public policy should be policy analysis and explanation, not policy prescription; second, the analysis of public policy outcomes requires a holistic and contextually situated analytical framework; and third, building theory requires methods of comparative analysis, not single case studies. We also propose items for a future policy studies agenda.

Target Article

AbstractThe target article is a major step toward integrating the biological and human-related sciences. It is highly relevant to economics and public policy formulation in the real world, in addition to its basic scientific import. My commentary covers a number of points, including avoiding an excessively narrow focus on agriculture, the importance of multilevel selection and complex systems theory, and utopic versus dystopic scenarios for the future.

Methods Of Analysis

The article analyzes the management of the influence of organized interests on public policy. The article reveals the concept of organized interests, the essential differences in comparing the concepts of organized interests and interest groups. The article takes the view that organized interests are a more neutral concept that better explains the nature of all actors seeking to influence public policy-making. The author of the article is of the opinion that the concept of interest groups – due to the disagreement of scientists in defining it – causes a lot of confusion when comparing the results of different researches and using the theoretical insights of other scientists. Organized interests interact with other public policy makers to influence policy outcomes. This article analyzes the ways in which organized interests can influence public policy. According to the author of the article, by identifying the ways of influencing public policy, it is possible to envisage ways to manage that influence. The article applies methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization and comparative analysis of scientific literature.

<p>El  artículo  analiza  las  coincidencias  y  divergencias existentes  en  los  cambios institucionales que los ayuntamientos catalanes y lombardos han realizado para facilitar la introducción de la perspectiva de género. Para estudiar estos cambios se han analizado tres ámbitos: el proceso político, los mecanismos políticos y los actores que intervienen en el diseño de las políticas. Los resultados se han obtenido del estudio en profundidad de seis ayuntamientos de cada territorio que ya están realizando políticas de género. Las conclusiones obtenidas constatan la presencia de cambios y demuestran cómo las estrategias seguidas son distintas en ambos casos, aunque se comparta la filosofía existente detrás de las políticas de género.</p><p>This  article  analyses  the  institutional  changes  to  assess  the  progress  of  gender</p><p>mainstreaming in Catalonia and Lombardia. The research centred on case studies of how gender in being integrated into policy in the following three aspects: the policy process, political tools and actors involved in public policy. The comparative analysis of gender equality policies in six Catalan and Italian cities indicated that the development of gender mainstreaming makes changes in the local governments These changes are different in the two regions but they used the same concept of gender mainstreaming.<br /><br /></p>
